Default Leaking Mystery Fluid On Driveway

Ya this is going to seem odd so Ill make it short.

My car is leaking something on my driveway. My oil is full, my clutch fluid is full, my coolant is full, my brake fluid is full, my wiper fluid is full, and Im not leaking gas.

Its not water from my AC becuase its staining the driveway. I put cardboard under the car and nothing shows on the cardboard, but when I take it out the damn thing leave the marks after I remove the cardboard.

Its a clear, thin, non smelling fluid. Im absolutely perplexed. Its like water, but its staining my driveway. Any ideas at all?

Thanks

Tranny fluid has a certian smell to it and its a redish color. Are u sure its not brake fluid? Brake fluid could leak a little bit here and there and still maintain its fluid level...

You sir, have a leaking axle seal. Won't leak when the car sits because the trans fluid is down low in the trans but as soon as you move it will slosh all over in there and start to come out of the axle seal. So when you pull in to the driveway the last drop hanging on the trans will drip and you won't leak any more until you drive again.

I have the same problem right now, I need to fix it.

Might be water from condensation in the exhaust.

The water does not stain but the little bits of carbon will be left over.

Probably drips out of the muffler.

Where is it leaking from on the car? pics? how long does it take before it drips? you say it won't drip on the cardboard but only on the driveway? (Not logical) maybe your just not leaving the C.B. under the car long enough? just be patient, wait for it to leak then get up under there and figure it out man! it could be freaking battery fluid for that matter?? good luck, let us know
